DATA MODERNIZATION PROGRESS

PUBLICATIONS AND PRESENTATIONS

Through the Data Modernization Initiative, CDC is creating a world in which data can move faster than disease.

The initiative is our response to the challenges public health has been dealing with for too long and that have been highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our shared vision for the future is to develop and deploy world-class data and analytics to meet today’s and tomorrow’s health challenges across the public health community.
